A black, silk haori, with a design of beautiful hydrangea. A garment such as this is a labour of love created by traditional craftsmanship
Complete with silk himo (front ties), usually bought separately
A traditional, hand tailored garment
Awase (lined)
Made and bought in Japan
The Japanese take great pains to store their traditional garments with the utmost care, which is why they stay in such exceptional condition. Some of my Japanese garments have large, white stitching (shitsuke) round the edges. The Japanese put these stitches in to keep the edges flat during long periods of storage, these stitches just get pulled out before wearing the garment
Please be aware that different monitors display colour slightly differently, therefore the colour in the photos and description is a guide only
